    I am in need of a bit of therapy..... <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->
    Driving along the Bass highway and approaching I saw a motorcycle doing a big tank slapper and fall, head-on into an armco rail, less than 2 hours ago. When I stopped the rider was laying across the bike, called ambulance and when I turned around a police bike had just pulled up.

    The officer informed me he had seen the bike going around the round-about about a few K ahead and saw smoke coming out of the indicator lights of the bike. He turned around to pull the guy up and warn him of the danger. The rider then took of at much pace and the police officer did not chase. Another witness reckoned he was coming around the corners at 150k and I think he may have been trying to pull up to to turn up the side street where he crashed, but not sure..

    From what I could see the bike was some old kawasaki ZX maybe, with the ram air hoses going into frame. I don't think the bike was registered.

    Is it worth you life to run???? <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

    I am still bothered seeing this all. It makes you see how fragile human life is..

    Damn i would hate to see something like this.. i think we forget sometimes that police are there to help us and not chase up cause we doing something silly.
    I would never run from a copper.. not worth your life or cash in fines!!! You do the crime, pay the time! <!-- s:cop --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cop.gif" alt=":cop" title="Cop" /><!-- s:cop -->
